Jessica, in response to the whitefont, I read an awesome Ocean's 11 / Inception cross over that basically posits the same thing.

Do you have the link to this handy? Because that sounds like a thing of beauty that I need to read.
So, how was your summer? Mine was fun. Saw some fish. Went mad with hunger. Hallucinated a whole bunch.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Johnny Depp In Vanity Fair: Disney Hated My 'Gay' Captain Sparrow
NEW YORK — Johnny Depp's flamboyant portrayal of Jack Sparrow in "Pirates of the Caribbean" was good enough for an Oscar nomination, but the actor says Disney was less than thrilled.
Depp talked about it in an interview with rocker Patti Smith for the January edition of Vanity Fair magazine. Depp said Disney "couldn't stand" his Sparrow and one person there even asked if Sparrow was gay. Depp told the Disney executive "all my characters are gay," and he said that "really made her nervous."
Heh.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
We saw Tangled this weekend. It was OK. I kind of wish they hadn't gone the "blonde hair is better than brown hair" route, but there you are.
Unlike The Princess and the Frog, I think all the scenes from other Disney movies were supposed to be recognized as loving homage, and a farewell to the "princess movie." (Rather than the cheap-out recycled animation from TPATF). And there may have been a Blade Runner reference in it.
Oh, dear. I'm afraid I am the anti-Raq, which makes me sad. I really liked both Tangled and TPATF and found the animation in the latter kind of swoonily gorgeous.
And, if anything, the movie seems to be saying that blonde hair is a terrible trap; Rapunzel is just about the only blonde in the movie, and her hair has pretty well screwed up her entire life.
And there was the whole creepy passive-aggressive "I'm the only one who will ever love you because everyone else will treat you shamefully and be horrible/I'm the only one who will ever love you because you're basically dog shit in human form and you're lucky you even have me to love you/anyhow, whichever, just don't ever leave!" dynamic between Rapunzel and her mother, which was depressing and scary and both a dynamic I completely recognized and not one I can remember Disney ever tackling before.
Also, I want whoever designed all the murals in Rapunzel's tower to come over and paint our ceiling right now, please.

This was pretty awesome, I have to say. Really super evil.
I take your point about hair color, but I imagine a whole bunch of dolls with blonde light-up magic hair, and not any with brown non-magic hair.
Also:

LOL. Smartass.

I am interested in seeing the movie, but I think I want to see Company Men more. I'm not sure.
